The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, has committed USD 25 million in equity to Seraya Partners Fund II, a private equity infrastructure fund managed by Seraya Partners, to support sustainable infrastructure investments in emerging markets across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

IFC’s US$25 million equity investment serves as an anchor for the Fund’s Southeast Asia Emerging Markets sleeve, which focuses on projects advancing decarbonization, enhanced digital connectivity, and inclusive economic development. The Fund’s development results will be tracked using metrics such as renewable energy output and the expansion of digital infrastructure capacity. This marks Seraya’s first dedicated investment sleeve focused on emerging markets in Southeast Asia. It will operate in parallel with the Fund’s other sleeve, which targets developed Asia-Pacific markets. Combined, the two sleeves aim to link value chains between developed and developing economies, strengthening regional integration and generating new economic opportunities, including employment growth.
